Former Nigeria international Vincent Enyeama has offered words of encouragement to Francis Uzoho, following the Super Eagles’ ouster from this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
Uzoho was in goal for the Eagles over two legs in the playoffs with Ghana who qualified on the away goals rule.
After a goalless first leg in Kumasi, the Black Stars held the Eagles to a 1-1 draw to clinch a fourth World Cup appearance.
Uzoho had a game to forget after allowing a tame shot from Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey slipper through his hands.
William Troost-Ekong equalized for the Eagles from the penalty spot but the Black Stars held on to seal qualification.
Following the disappointment of not qualifying for the World Cup, Uzoho took to his Instagram handle to express his regrets.
“The past couple of days have been the worst in my lifetime. I wanted to take my nation to Qatar but rather did the opposite.”
And replying to Uzoho’s post, Enyeama encouraged the 2013 U-17 World Cup winner not to give up.
“Never give up dear. we’ve all been through it. Stay strong . better days ahead. You have a very good team.”

EYAH…
Don’t let it BRING YOU DOWN bro…
Keep your HEAD UP
If we had WON the GAME and QUALIFIED, probably fans won’t be paying attention on the ERROR
You are rite.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Uzoho, you made a bad mistake, but you can use this to propel yourself to greater heights.
Try to get a club in a decent league, where you can play regularly. And off the pitch, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. It’s not for nothing that they say PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
As for Enyeama, we need him to be talking to our goalies as the SE goalie trainer, not just on social media. Perhaps Rufai and Enyeama can team up for this purpose.
With that rubbish tactics Eguaveon introduced as oldskul pertern . Even if Mendy of chealsea keep that match. Nigeria will loose. Okeye would have been worst if Nigeria use him in kumasi march day because they came out to win Nigeria but Nigeria goal keeper save Nigeria that day. If na okeye, Na 2:0
What garbage is this one spewing. So what tactics is there for a goalkeeper. All of you just run here to make noise without applying common sense.
